Ora?

Reef Pets · Apr 18, 2009

I am wondering if anyone knows what ORA acro this is? I got it a while back from ORA but cant remember which one it or nor can I find it on the web... I think it may have changed a little since they arrived in unhealthy.
Thanks!

i don't know any of the ora corals that look like that...but its gorgeous!

Thanks! The only thing that I could find close is a Verde and that tht is on my order form. I was just able to find the order form to compare. I really like the way it morphed over the last 5 months or so.

What was on the order form?

Reef Pets · Apr 18, 2009

Hey Sara, The order form states that its a Verde Acropora. It seems as if the body has changed color but the bright green polyps stayed.
I have another just like it and I am going to see if ORA wants to back so that they have a new morph to add.

Since we are on the subject of ORA, I thought I would share this Red Planet. It has grown like a weed for me.

Bellina?

Hey, yeah that's weird. It doesn't look like a verde acro. I just flipped through a bunch of corals on that ORA website too and didn't see anything that looked like it either. I'm sure they'd be happy to have a new morph.

very nice site. wish it had more pictures.

I love red planets! I just got one a couple of weeks ago. The colors are so bright! And I swear it's already growing.

I have ORA Australian Delicate as well and the body is much thinner than this one. It must be a Verde. After finding the order for thats the only one that I cant account for. The base turned deep purple which is pretty nice with green polyps. Ira almost looks like a Bonsai color.

Reef Pets · Apr 18, 2009

I agree, the color does not look like a Verde. But they have very few with bright green polyps. I am going to give them a call on Monday to see if they want the other one I have. I would make a nice new morph.

It most likely isgrowing. I got a couple from ORA about 5 months ago and the frags that I have taken from it have grown several inches in no time. Not only that, they keep the amazing color. The Red Planet is one of my favorites.

Looks like the Verde is the closest match. Didn't you say that's what the order form said?

My ORA MI tricolor is a deep purple with neon green polyps. It doesn't rival the Garf PB, but is a nice second or third in terms of purple and green tricolors.
